The legal determinants of health
Seguridad humana y salud pública
dedicated to the topic of human security within the context of public health. Human security and its relation-ship with health, social determinants, the Millennium Development Goals, and human rights are inseparable concepts that need to be understood in greater depth by public health researchers and practitioners as well as policymakers at all levels of government. Human security is an emerging paradigm for understanding global vulnerabilities t…
La resistencia a los antimicrobianos
Antimicrobial resistance was the theme of World Health Day 2011 and the topic of discussion among scientific, academic, community, and government institutions, which analyzed its health impact and measures to contain it. The evidence and operational studies to foster more appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs, from effective prescribing to changing consumer behavior, are of particular interest. This special issue of the Pan American Journal of P…

Prevention, control, and elimination of neglected diseases in the Americas
The purpose of this paper is three fold. First, it focuses on a need for integrated "pro-poor" approaches and policies to be developed in order to more adequately address the multi-faceted nature of neglected diseases. This represents a move away from traditional disease-centered approaches to a holistic approach that looks at the overarching causes and mechanisms that influence the health and well being of communities. The second objective of th…
Renewing primary health care in the Americas
Pan American Journal of Public Health (RPSP/PAJPH), which it is my pleasure to present, is devoted to primary health care (PHC) and is part of the movement that the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is leading to renew PHC in the Region of the Americas. The International Conference on Primary Health Care, held in 1978 in Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), defined the PHC concept, bringing it international recognitio…
Dengue y dengue hemorrágico en las Américas
A pesar de que el dengue se conoce como entidad clnica desde hace ms de dos siglos y del conocimiento acumulado en el transcurso de los ltimos aos, esta arbovirosis contina siendo hoy uno de los principales problemas de salud mundial y constituye uno de los mayores retos de salud pblica en el milenio actual

Saúde ambiental na América Latina e no Caribe
É inegável que a discussão sobre saúde, meio ambiente e desenvolvimento sustentável tem progredido muito em décadas recentes. Contudo, ganhos globais não têm sido distribuídos de maneira uniforme, deixando grandes grupos populacionais excluídos, com conseqüências negativas à saúde. Também estamos começando a reconhecer problemas globais emergentes que causam impactos locais significativos, principalmente em populações pobres, tanto em áreas rurai…
Radiological physics within the framework of Paho technical cooperation programs
Medicine was revolutionized at the end of the 19th centurythanks to a number of discoveries in the field of physics. In1895, Roentgen discovered X-rays, which made it possible tovisualize internal structures in the human body. The followingyear Becquerel discovered radioactivity, and in 1898 the Curies(husband and wife) announced the discovery of two radioactiveelements: polonium and radium. The latter was immediatelyput to use to obliterate skin…

Dos funciones esenciales de los programas de vacunacion regionales aplicados en varios paises simultaneamente consisten en controlar en todo un territorio, franqueando fronteras, las enfermedades que se pueden prevenir mediante la vacunacion y en reducir las faltas de equidad en materia de salud. Los buenos resultados de los programas de vacunacion regionales dependen del esfuerzo coordinado que hagan los paises y sus socios por alcanzar una meta…
Calidad de vida y longevidad
More people in the Americas now live longer than was true at any other time in our history. Nevertheless, further reducing premature deaths among adults and older adults will require major efforts, parallel to global efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals and to together plan a future in which everyone can enjoy good health and quality of life
La salud mental
I am pleased to present to you this special issue of the Revista Panamericana de Salud Pblica/Pan American Journal of Public Health, which is devoted to two closely related subjects: mental health and the abuse of psychoactive substances. Depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders often occur in association with dependency on alcohol or other substances. This dependency-which by itself is a mental health problem-is an important risk factor f…
Elimination of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome in the Americas
Anticipating new vaccines in the Americas
is extremely timelyin terms of vaccine development. The authors correctly conclude that the heavy bur-den of disease attributable to rotavirus in Latin America suggests that vaccines cur-rently being developed could have considerable impact in preventing hospitalizations,clinic visits, and deaths.The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is strongly committed toaddressing what the authors conclude to be the important public health priority ofre…

Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Every year there are 466 000 new cases of invasive cervical cancer in the world, most of them in developing countries. Latin America and the Caribbean, along with Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, exhibit some of the highest incidence rates worldwide. The incidence of cervical cancer is highest among poor women with few years of schooling, who tend to be diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease. Even when these women are screened or diagn…

El Convenio Marco para el control del tabaco
afecta adversamente a las economías de los países y en especial a los cultivadores de tabaco.Mientras que el primero pone de manifiesto la magnitud de la epidemia del tabaquismo, que cada año mata a más de un millón de personas en la Región de las Américas, el segundo describe el clima hostil que tienen que enfrentar los profesionales y las autoridades de la salud pública para poder contrarrestar esta epidemia.Los dos artículos son relevantes por…
A standard method for measuring blood pressure in the Americas
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a silent but dangerous disease affecting an estimated 140 million men and women of all ethnic backgrounds in the Americas (1). This condition results in disability and millions of premature deaths each year from stroke and heart disease, heart failure, and kidney failure. It is estimated that strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failures resulting from hypertension comprise more than half the mortality in th…
Promoting quality blood services in the Region of the Americas
El fomento de buenos servicios de sangre en la Región de las Américas
Durante los últimos años, ha habido grandes adelantos en la seguridad de la sangre que se transfunde en la Región de las Américas.Ha aumentado el tamizaje de las unidades de sangre para la detección de marcadores de infección.De los 5,9 millones de unidades de sangre recogidas en América Latina y el Caribe en 1997, 68 166 (1,1%) no fueron sometidas a ningún tamizaje para la detección del virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH); 77 095 (1,3%) n…
Priorities of the candidates for the post of Director of the Pan American Health Organization (Paho)
After I have recovered from the great emotion that being elected would bring to me, I would begin organising the transition team, putting my ideas to test against the realities and constraints involved, collecting suggestions, and calling upon every staff member, stakeholder, and partner to join with me in working for and with the organisation. I am planning to organise my first actions around five issues: 1. Strengthening the participation of me…
